The blade squealed as it was pried back upon itself. The pale scout quickly released his suffering longknife, moving his fingers away from the pommel as it sprang back with an audible twang. He kneeled quickly; darting under the guardian's grasp as it dully regarded the weapon it had fisted away from him. The hulking golem paused a moment, then no longer seemed to notice the steel weapon clutched in its barrel-sized fist now that the intruder was no longer in contact with it. It promptly released the small sword as it swiveled its massive head in search of the trespasser.
